Receive the children with respect,
educate them with love,
send them forth in freedom.
(Rudolf Steiner)Steiner schools follow their own common broad-based comprehensive and distinctive curriculum designed to engage children in an integrated learning process.
This curriculum was developed by Rudolf Steiner based on his rather unique view of the changing needs of the developing child. Steiner felt that schools should cater for the needs of the child rather than the demands of the government or economic forces in society.
Steiner Waldorf education aims to support a harmonious development of the three soul faculties - willing, feeling and thinking - taking full account of the physical and emotional growth phases of the child. Whilst these three faculties are always interacting, there is a particular emphasis on the development of the will during the first seven years (early years).
The children learn most of what is worthy of imitation through activities. During the second seven years (Lower School) the education of the feeling life is nurtured through the guiding authority of the teacher, integrating the artistic, imaginative elements into the learning process.
Our school is situated in a rural but well connected area of Benidorm. Families from many European countries and further afield have the benefit of a Steiner-Waldorf education, which carries children through from their wholehearted enthusiasm in the early years, to a deep awakening and interest for the world around them and to finally develop into well-balanced teenagers with a clear intellect.
